Creative Artiste Challenge Blog February Challenge sponsored by Scrapmatts

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

The weekend is here. I wonder if you have plans. I am going to start looking for a wedding outfit for me. On Saturday evening we are going to our local theatre to see a 50th  anniversary performance of the radio show Round the Horne.

This is something of a sad post for me as it is my last one for the Creative Artiste challenge blog. As many of your know our daughter is getting married later this year. I am making a lot of things for the wedding and sadly at the moment I don't have the time to apply to the mixed media projects. I have had a lovely time on this team. I am very grateful to my fellow team mates for their patience  and tolerance with my abilities.

On to today, on the first Friday of the month the new challenge starts on the Creative Artiste Challenge blog this is challenge 23 the theme is Anything Goes (Mixed Media) and the sponsor is Scrapmatts.

I decided to decorate one of my journal covers. I used one of my kitchen roll backgrounds. I did make quite a few and there is more kitchen roll drying to make some more. 

Our lovely sponsors this time.

I have quite a range of nautical dies and I used them to decorate the cover. The ship is a Tattered Lace die. 

I was sent some goodies by Scrapmatts  I painted words with acrylic paint. They seemed to be appropriate for a journal. 

Enjoy the coming weekend. 

Happy Crafting

Creative Artiste December Sponsor Scrapmatts

Hi My Crafty blog Friends

How has your week been? The weekend is here. This weekend is the birthday of our future son-in-law. So on Sunday we are joining them and his parents for a celebratory meal. This time last year my husband had his accident and broke his wrist so we missed out on the birthday celebrations. It is so good that we can join in this year.

The new challenge starts today on the Creative Artiste Challenge blog. The sponsor is Scrapmatts and the theme is Anything Goes.

I was really lucky when I popped into our local Range they were selling off some of last year's Creative Expressions MDF and I picked up this Happy Christmas at a snip. 

I painted the MDF with Acrylic paint. Then I used ribbon, flowers and brads from my stash. I also added some ivy die cuts.  

I think this will look good on the sideboard this Christmas. 

Happy Crafting

Creative Artiste Challenge blog - Sponsor Scrapmatts

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

The weekend is here. Unfortunately my husband has to work this weekend the University is having Open days and he is in charge of a stand. It only happens twice a year so I shouldn't moan. I do get some extra time to craft though and he has promised to take me out for a meal.

The beginning of the month is always busy with Design Team makes and today is no exception. The new challenge starts today on the Creative Artiste Challenge Blog. We have a sponsor Scrapmatts of Australia.  Do you remember last time they sponsored us I lost the bits and pieces I had been sent? Well when I was having a tidy up I found them - whoop. They were in a very safe place :)

I decided to decorate a tiny canvas as one of the things I had was a small frame.

First I painted the canvas with a coat of white acrylic paint, Then I mixed some colours and used a mask I had been sent to create the background. I painted the frame with a mixture of paints. The good thing about making something like this is if you don't like how it is going you can paint over it and change the look.  

I decided to make the poppies with the small dies in the Sue Wilson Exquisite Poppy set. The greenery was created with the Olive Branch die set.  

This is one of the words I received with my set of goodies. I painted it with Acrylic paint and added it to the design. 

It is a rather cute canvas. I might give it to my Mother-in-law she likes poppies. 

I would like to join in with Week 244 of Pixie's Snippets Playground. 

I hope you have a wonderful weekend. 

Happy Crafting

Creative Artiste Challenge 16 - Anything Goes

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

Today is a busy blog day. It the first of the month and it is a Friday.

The new challenge starts today on the Creative Artiste Challenge blog the theme is Anything Goes. There is a sponsor this month Scrapmatts  who are based in Australia. The design team were all sent goodies to play with. I have a little confession I lost my goodies I keep expecting them to turn up but they haven't yet.

In my stash I had a chipboard door hanger that I painted all over with Gesso. When this had dried I used some decoupage glue to cover the door hanger with different shades of blue tissue paper. There was another wait for this to dry. I did cover both sides. I took a stencil and inked through it with a silver ink. 

If you click on the link you will be taken to the store. 

This is an LOTV stamp that I love. She was stamped with black archival onto water colour card and then coloured with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens.  She was cut our by hand and added to the door hanger with a gel glue. 

At the bottom I added shells, pearl strings and die cuts. 

Here is the hanger in place on the bathroom door. Thank you for visiting today. 

Happy Crafting
